Is it safe to dine out right now in the US. ?

You'll be fine.

Just go and have fun

I live in a town, where we have more than 250 identified cases, and about 20 deaths, within a 3-4 mile radius. I went out to a restaurant over the weekend, but everyone here has gone into hyper disinfection mode. However, that restaurant, which has a 1-2 hour normal wait, was nearly empty, like a half dozen tables.

Restaurants are starting to close around us, wholesale, no one wants to take the risk.

You are running a risk by going out to eat, especially if the restaurant you go to, is not taking proper precautions, to make sure everything is disinfected.

No you might be in a car accident on your way

cook it yourself. i have decided not to go out to eat until this is over. Our lovely politicians locally have been tell us to stay out of healthcare facilities, don't fly and definitely stay away from cruise ships. I think i am in love with them now.

Not unless there's more than 20 1 mile away. 100, 10 miles away and so forth.

5 to 1 ratio I think it is.

Heck see New Rochelle NY State "containment" area. 108 cases in 1 mile. And still not really a complete quarantine.

The safest place for a ship is in the harbor. But that is not what ships were made for. 😏

Live.

Doubt it. If tips are your livelihood I’m sure they are coming to work half dead.

Unless there is an outbreak in your area, you are probably safe.

Be very afraid!!!! Corona’s gonna infect you!!
